Heh, as I suspected. SATA has been around a while, and all current disks are backward compatible, so it should work without issues.

Although you seriously need to dust your computer :) and looking at your PSU, you will require a molex to SATA connector, do buy that as they dont come bundle with most HDD's...

Hey this is aditya here, i am logged into my frnds account...
thks for th info aces170, btw what is the molex to sata converter... for how much would i get that....
 
^ it costs ~10-15 bucks but most dealers might give it free with the new HDD... Its the power connector which will convert molex from your PSU to a SATA power connector which is flatter & has 5 wires....
 
very wierd location to have sata ports...generally all mobo manufacturers near to PATA connectors..
